So I bought 2 new Radion XR30
Lights and 2 RMS brackets. However I did not consider how littler room we have behind the tank to the wall. Just not white enough to twist the tightening screw and unfortunately this bracket does not allow the screw to be reversed to the inside of the tank. I have a rimless tank and I want them mounted to the back. Is there another bracket that may work?

I had this issue with my first tank, the mounting screws that come with most mounts are quite long.

I figured out the threadsize and got much shorter hex bolts that managed to work.

Likely only other option, and best long term, is to drain the tank and move it about 4 inches from the wall. You'll want this space to do things anyway.
